They explored natural solutions to these injuries, which affect 3.8 million people in the U.S., primarily children and the elderly from falls, and athletes from sports activities. Singletary shared his personal experiences with football, his upbringing, and his career, highlighting the importance of proper tackling techniques to prevent injuries. The show aimed to raise awareness about the short and long-term effects of traumatic brain injuries on individuals and their families.
➡ Mike Singletary is highly respected as a born leader, admired by many for his leadership qualities. He values the lessons he learned from the influential people in his life. His time playing football at Baylor University was marked by memorable moments, including the tough love from his coach, Corky Nelson, and meeting his future wife, Kim. Despite initial doubts about his potential, Singletary excelled in his senior year, becoming an All American and finishing eighth in the Heisman.
➡ The speaker shares his life journey, focusing on his relationship with his wife, Kim, whom he met at Baylor University. They have seven children and 16 grandchildren, with more on the way. He emphasizes the importance of family, respect, and love, and how these values have shaped his life. He also discusses his career in football, including his draft day experience and the challenges he faced due to his size.
➡ The text is about a football player who was initially disappointed when he wasn’t picked in the first round of the NFL draft. However, he was later chosen by the Chicago Bears and went on to have a successful career, proving his doubters wrong. He had a friendly rivalry with teammate Dan Hampton, which pushed both of them to perform better. The highlight of his career was being inducted into the Hall of Fame in 1998. He is now 67 and still values staying in shape and maintaining his health.
➡ The speaker emphasizes the importance of maintaining good health, not just for personal well-being, but also to avoid becoming a burden to his family. He shares his routine for staying active and healthy, which includes regular exercise, proper diet, and regular visits to the chiropractor.

It also emphasizes the significance of developing good habits and maintaining a positive mindset. The text further highlights the need to continuously strive for improvement and not get stuck in past achievements. Lastly, it touches on the topic of traumatic brain injuries and concussions, particularly in sports, and their long-term effects such as Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, and mental health issues.
➡ The text discusses the long-term effects of concussions and lifestyle choices on brain health, highlighting the importance of self-care and awareness. It also introduces the benefits of the amino acid Taurine and the B vitamin Inositol in repairing neurological damage and promoting brain function. The text emphasizes the need for education on these topics to combat neurodegenerative conditions like CTE, Alzheimer’s, and Parkinson’s. Lastly, it mentions the harmful effects of glyphosate, a common herbicide, on our food supply and its potential link to neurological disorders.
➡ The brain, which is 60-70% fat, needs healthy fats like avocado oil, olive oil, and coconut oil for recovery, especially after a brain injury. A chemical called acetylcholine, found in supplements like hydrate complete and multivitamins, is essential for brain function. The text also introduces Mike, a leader who has experienced many concussions, and discusses a forthcoming presentation on traumatic brain injuries. The author, Dr. Ardis, warns about fraudulent accounts and encourages following his official social media channels for more information.

Foreign. I’m Dr. Bryan Ardis and this is once again the Dr. Ardis Show. For all of you who are new, welcome to the show. For those of you who have been around fans for a long time, I’d like to welcome you to a very organic conversation to lead into an entire presentation I’m about to unfold which are natural solutions to traumatic brain injuries. So I’ve got a very unique, very special, high profile, celebrity type person to join me today who knows all about traumatic brain injuries. Because this guy, you’ll know when I bring him on screen.

But this guy for decades was laying the wood, as they say, and probably creating traumatic brain injuries on people all over the field. And, and who we’re going to bring here, we’re going to bring on Mike Singletary. He’s a Hall of Famer for the NFL. He’s a middle linebacker from the Chicago Bears, won a Super bowl in 1985. This guy is a leader of men. Later became the head coach of the San Francisco 49ers. Also head coached in many other places. But those are some of the more high profile situations he found himself in in his life as a leader.

Now, as somebody who was pounding the tundra from for years and decades, he has seen personally the impact of traumatic brain injuries. And we’re going to go through what some of those types are. I will outline those for you in a PowerPoint like I always do. You can find this entire show on thedrardistshow.com if the PowerPoint information related to concussions, any type of CTE, chronic traumatic encephalopathy, you name it. If you’ve had multiple concussions in your life, just so you all know, traumatic brain injuries per the CDC, 3.8 million people in America are affected. And primarily it’s young children from falls and the elderly from falls.

The second highest cause of traumatic brain injury, which concussions are, one of those is sports activities. So I wanted to bring the man, the myth, the legend who created traumatic brain injuries all over football fields across America and around the world. I’d like to welcome to the show to talk about traumatic brain injuries and we’re going to highlight some of the short term effects, but more importantly the long term effects because they are many, they are pronounced and they really dramatically affect marriages, homes, families, employment, you name it. All right, so let’s welcome to the Dr.

Ardis show for the first time ever, the the great Mike Singletary. How are you buddy? It’s great to see you. How you doing, Dr. Dr. Ardis? I am doing well. Very thankful to be on the show. So very excited to get into this content. Great. Now for Relativity. I want everybody at home to be able to relate to you, buddy. Mike Singletary, I want you to tell the audiences I, I personally know you’re one of 10 children. In fact, I think you’re like the youngest of 10. I’ve had the honor of meeting your wife and I look forward to one day, hopefully meeting all of your family.

But you got grandkids galore. You’ve got kids galore. You travel all the time. You’re a public speaker, very awarded decorated football player. You’ve achieved a lot in your life. Please bring us up to speed. Give us a little bio to our audiences so they can relate to you. Well, you know what, first of all, this is a tremendous topic that we’re discussing today. Connecticut, traumatic brain injury, what have you. And playing football was. Was just a fantastic opportunity for me to get to express myself in a way like none other. Being the last of 10 kids, being from a Pentecostal background, I was the only one that had the opportunity to participate in sports.

The smallest of my brothers, the least talented of my brothers. So that’s unfortunate. But anyways, just would beg my mom to let me play football. She finally allowed me to play as long as I told her that I wouldn’t get hurt. I had to promise her that. So at 12 years old, that was really the beginning of my career. And I just really listened to the coaches. Everything I learned about tackling, I learned in the seventh grade. Keeping my head up, keeping my eyes open, making sure I could see what I was hitting, and making sure that my neck was in my shoulders like a turtle and keeping my neck strong.

And that was really. And not running to the tackler, running through the tackler, that was the thing exploding through the object. And that was the thing that I learned about tackling. And it really served its purpose very, very well throughout my career. Where did you grow up? Where were you in seventh grade? Where’d you go to school and get to play the first time? Well, I went to, I’m from Houston and I, I went to Crispus Attucks in middle school, seventh grade, seventh and ninth. And that was a fantastic opportunity to play for Coach Hutchison. And I left there and went to Worthing Ebony, Worthing, the Colts, and met coach Brown, who was my coach there, and peoples coach Peoples.

So that was a tremendous opportunity to take it to the next step. So really, really enjoyed the opportunity to play and go through that process and have those Kind of coaches that really, really were great at instructing guys how to be fundamental in terms of the way you play the game, how you tackle, making sure that it was a step by step process. And then from high school, where’d you go from high school? I went to very fortunate to go to Baylor. Coach Grantaff was the coach and Baylor was just an outstanding, outstanding opportunity for me to go to Division 1 school.

They were the only school, the only Division 1 school that offered me a scholarship to play middle linebacker. And University of Texas offered me a scholarship if and only if I played full by. And I told them that that was against my religion. I could not do that. I couldn’t get my mind to wrap around playing offense and carrying the ball. I couldn’t. That’s really funny. My very first thought was, wait a minute, you grew up Pentecostal? Was there really? You’re not allowed to be an offensive player if you play your Pentecostal. It’s against your religion.

That’s funny. All right. How did you. I. I know, but how did your, how did your mom and family feel about you getting this scholarship opportunity to go play at Baylor? How big of a deal was that for them, who obviously from a religious context had some withholding, I’m sure, about the idea of sports? My mom ironically grew up in Waco, Texas, where Baylor was. So as a little girl, she. She was born in Waco and then they moved to Henderson, Texas, she and her family. So Baylor was also a Christian school. And really I could have had a million other offers.

I was going to Baylor because that’s awesome. This is God. You’re going to Baylor. I don’t care who, who else offer you a scholarship? So that’s the way it was. And thankfully, thankfully I only got one scholarship because it was very easy for me to see when I went there. When I met Coach Taft, Baylor was the place for me. Coach Taft became my second dad. He was absolutely amazing. He helped develop me into the leader that I am today. I love Coach Taft and the man that he is and had a chance to go to his home while I was at Baylor as a student and a player and just sit down.

And he just allowed me to see what a husband looks like, how that looks in a home, how you interact with your wife, how you interact with your daughters and your kids. So that was just a tremendous opportunity. And he would come and get me in my dorm and take me with him when he was speaking to various churches and organizations and what have you. It was just, it was amazing. He would come to my room and ask me questions about what I thought about this decision that he was about to make when he was going to send the kid home, because that was the third strike for this kid.

Coach Taft would have tears in his eyes because he knew what he was sending the kid back to. He was sending him back to a place that chances are you’re not going to get out of there. And so those were things that Coach Taft and I sat down and talked together. I mean, he would come to my dorm, knock on the door, and he’d be crying, mike, how am I going to do this? I promised this kid’s mom that I was going to make sure that he got his degree. And now I gotta send him home.

What should I do? I said, well, either you send him home or you lose the team because you held up your end of the bargain, he didn’t hold up his, and so you gotta send him home. So those were really interesting conversations, but all of those types of conversations and decisions really helped me become the leader, the man and everything else that I’ve been over the years now. Audience, just listen here. There’s a lot of people I’ve met and there’s a lot. I mean, a lot of people that I’ve met, a lot of people that know Mike Singletary.

There’s only one word that comes out of everybody’s mouths when they mentioned Mike Singletary. In fact, it was the first thing that came out of my mouth. I was like, oh, my God, this guy is absolutely a born leader. But what I have appreciated so much, Mike, getting to know you over the last year and a half, two years, and spending quite a bit of time with you is your appreciation and value and respect you have for the men and women in your own life who were the examples of leadership to you to help construct who you are as a leader today.

Because it is absolutely concrete. You are put on this earth to be a leader. It is why I actually enjoy spending so much time with you via phone, Via. In person. I actually have probably told you on the phone, I’ve mentioned this to my wife many times. You know what I like about Mike Singletary? He’s somebody I can look up to who is a leader for me. Right? So we all have. At every aspect of our lives, no matter how old we are, I always want somebody I can look up to that can push me, encourage me, guide me, counsel me.

You’re just. You just happen to be one of those. And it’s very, very exciting to be able to spend any amount of time with you and gravitate from you, take from you what are qualities, aspirations, habits of an individual, to be a leader and to be, you know, true to your morals, your principles and values and just go do that. And that is exactly what you are. All right, so tell me how exciting it was for your mom to, who was from Waco or spent some time in Waco to go to a Baylor football game and watch you on the field.

How awesome was that? It was absolutely amazing. My family would come down to the games on Saturdays and it was just such a blessing to perform for them, to be able to go out there and play the game and play the game at the very highest level that I could possibly play it and give the glory to the Lord and what have you. But it was so wonderful. And when I finished the game, mom would always tell me how proud she was of me. And then course we cry for a while and while they drove away back to Houston.

So it was very, very cool. Those are great, great memories. Do you have any great memories that stand out to you, highlight moments for you during your multi year career at Baylor? How many years did you play there? I was there four years. Four years. Good. Any highlight moments where you’re like, man, that was just an incredible moment that comes to mind off the top of your head? Yeah. The first highlight moment was my linebacker coach that just happened to also be the defensive coordinator. I couldn’t talk about Baylor without talking about Corky Nelson. Corky Nelson.

When I, when I went to Baylor that weekend and Coach Taft, when I was being recruited, Coach Taft said on my visit, michael, I don’t care what happens. I am going to hold this scholarship for you until you call me and tell me you don’t want it. You’re not coming. Corky Nelson. I asked Corky Nelson, who was the defense coordinator, what was the opportunity for me to fight for a starting position. He said, well, wait a minute, you’d be a freshman, so you’re talking about starting. I got two studs that we played a 5:2 and I got two inside backers.

I don’t see you beating them out. I said, well, I didn’t really ask you that. I asked you, will I have the opportunity to start? He said, yeah, but I don’t see you beating them out. I said, but do I have the opportunity to start to compete with them? Yeah, but it’s not gonna happen. They’ve been here, they’ve earned the right to start. And I thought, I’m not coming Here. But thankfully I talked to Coach Taft and Coach Taft said, look, whatever you need, we’re going to make it available. And Coach Taft was just that guy.

Like I said, he was like my dad. That was the first experience I came very close to saying, I’m not going to Baylor. Corky Nelson was a guy that I did not like him. He was a guy that pushed me to beyond my limits. Every day, even my last year at Baylor, I’m thinking, I’m a senior, I’m an All American, I’m two time all American. So surely he’s going to back off this year. He comes out in spring practice and says, michael, I know you’re thinking, this is my senior year. We’re so proud of you. You’ve done great.

But guess what? I’m going to push you more this year than I ever have. I just, I was like. I started shaking. You got to be kidding me. You got killed me, man. And so he was just a guy that. I am so thankful and so blessed that I had the opportunity to have him as a coach because I didn’t understand until many years later that he saw something very special in me. And I was very stubborn and. And I know I’m stubborn, but I thought I was stubborn in a good way. And he just pushed me and I kept pushing back.

And finally we talked many years later and I thought, why did you do that? And he said, hey, you know what? I saw it in you and I had to get it. You fought me every step of the way, but I knew it was in there and I had to get it because it was special in hindsight. How was that senior year that he pushed you even harder? How did you do your senior year, Mike? Well, I was All American my senior year as well and finished, I think eighth or something like that in the Heisman.

That was my goal that year, to win Heisman. And no defense player at that time had won the Heisman, but that was my goal. That’s so it was a pretty decent year. That’s awesome. All right, so any other celebratory highlight moments? You said there was one or two. There’s your first one. Well, you know, that’s one because Corky Nelson was like a nightmare. But then the dream was meeting my wife, meeting Kim and her. That was amazing. You met her at Baylor. I met her at Baylor where she was a freshman, I was a sophomore. We were both late for our class.

She was going one way, I was going the other. And when I passed her, I felt like there was A wind that blew in her direction across my face. And I thought, whoa, I believe that’s my wife. And it was kind of like the dumbest thing that I could ever say. But it was true. That first thing that came out of my mouth. Next time I saw her, I was at the library a couple of weeks later, and I always sat in a corner, and nobody sat at my table because I wanted to focus on my studies.

Didn’t want to talk. I just wanted to study. And so Kim came by, and all the seats in the library were taken. The library was always full. And so she came by and I was studying, and she said, excuse me, do you mind if I sit here? And I said, you know, and I looked up and it was her. And I went, oh, yeah, you sit right there. What are you studying? She’s. I’m studying. I think she. She said algebra or something like that. And I said, oh, yeah, I’m good at that. I was flunking at the time.

I’m good at algebra. I can help you. We ought to study together. So we ended up closing the library out that night. And we were still talking when they were closing the doors. And as I walked back to the dorm, I just kept looking back at the library thinking, something just happened. Something just happened. I can’t explain it, but that. That girl that I was talking to, man, she is really something. That is awesome. She’s really something. And that was the first time that I had a conversation with the opposite sex and I didn’t have to try and be somebody else.

I could be myself. And that was really cool. I love those stories. Now, two things out of these amazing stories. One, you had an incredible opportunity being told maybe you’re not going to be a starter, but get your butt here anyway to Baylor. And you’re like, what? No, no, no, no. I need to know if this is opportunity for me. Anyway, you went, met with the coach. He told you to get there. Great. You’ll get some time. You. You obviously got some starting time, which is great. And then your second highlight moment. I just want to sit on these two things because I think it’s pretty miraculous.

The other thing, which I didn’t think was going to come out of your mouth, only because I didn’t know that’s where you met Kim, was meeting your wife, Kim. Now, the reason why I bring these two up is because there couldn’t have been a play you could have come up with that would have had a more dramatic impact from Baylor, I think, on the rest of your life, unless it was a terrible injury that paralyzed you or something for the rest of your life. These are two great moments that literally spurred an incredible career for you.

And now let’s just highlight for the audiences from the wind of a woman being late to a class at Baylor, going across your face, what has transpired that has affected the rest of your life. I think you got married to your wife, you called her your wife, you met your wife, you’re still married to that wife. How many kids did you guys birth? How many, how many in laws do you have? How many grandkids do you have? Let’s talk about these two things. Go ahead. Well, you know, first of all, she’s the love of my life and my best friend.

And you know, to this day I can’t believe how close we are, how much she means to me. And I feel like I’m stealing every day when I get up and I wake up next to her. But we have seven kids and we have 17, well, 16 grandkids and a couple that we’re not supposed to know about on the way. Very, very excited. And it’s so fun, so much fun when we get together, you know, we get together and go on vacation and last year or year before last, we, we got together and we all stayed, all the kids and grandkids and stayed in one house and it was a blast.

It was so much fun just sitting down in a corner and watching. It was like, just let it roll, just watch it roll. And the kids over here screaming. They’re over there laughing. They’re over there, their two daughters over there just like they’re five years old, six years old. And the brother in law about, they’re arguing about who’s the best marvel, Batman or Green Hornet or. It was. But I’m just sitting in the corner laughing and just taking it in because it was so much fun watching. It was great. I don’t know about you. Me and my wife have eight kids.

I think it’s a beautiful picture. We only have five grandkids. We’ll catch you one day. Don’t worry, we’ll get there. No, these kids are breeding. We got five in the last two and a half years. They’re coming hot and heavy. Here we go. But I do find that amazing about you and your wife. You compliment her all the time. You always talk about it. It’s very obvious. She’s your best friend, which I absolutely love. And you have a very deep seated passion and love for just being. Seriously, the word would be being. Just being Present with your family around you like it’s the.

Do you ever sit around and go, I can’t believe we were late to class on the same day at Baylor University. And now we’re all in one room with a hundred kids running around that we’ve all created and having so much fun. Do you ever, ever sit back and think about that moment late in class, running across her? There are times. There are times my mother and I used to sit down and talk for hours. And my mother would always say, you know, son, make sure when you get married, the woman that you marry, you want your kids to be like her.

And you want to make her, you know, make sure that she’s your best friend, and you want to make sure that you honor her and love her and so that, you know, years later, you and your family, your kids, they’re sitting down or talking, and you don’t have to get up and leave because they can’t really talk because they’re talking about you. They can’t say anything about you. Make sure you don’t have a home like that. Make sure that you have a family where you guys are just together and you’re having fun and you can say whatever you want.

You know, they love you, you love them. Yes, you got some knuckleheads, but that’s life. But. But. But just so everybody respects each other. That’s the first thing. And then you love each other and. And, you know, don’t be afraid to correct them, but be afraid to tell them what they. They need to hear when they ask you. And so things like that, you know, I find myself at times getting up, excusing myself to go outside, and, you know, I may tear up or something like that. And, you know, I look up at the sky and I say, mom, you were so right.

You. You were so right. I love that. Wow. This is great. This is some of the very cool moments in my own personal life, just hanging out with you, Mike, today, having this conversation. We’ve had multiple organic conversations about your very personal life. And it’s just some of the most beautiful parts of you, man. And just in case all y’ all wondering out there, tears aren’t new to Mike Singletary. Just show him a sappy movie. He’ll cry. So I hear he cries. And all the sappy movies, just like I do. And Jane. Jane will. I’ll go, I’m sorry I cried watching the Notebook or whatever.

And she’ll go, I love that side of you that you can get emotional. I’m like, I Can’t help it. I don’t know, it’s just there. Anyway, Mike and I will never be caught in a sappy love story sad movie theater, watching a sad movie together. We will not be work watching a dog’s journey right where the dog dies eight times. And we’re gonna be boohooing the whole time. You will not see us doing that. It’ll be some macho blow up stuff movie. That’s just Mad Max. Yeah, Mad Max, something like that. That’s what we’re gonna do.

But I do have a great appreciation for the fact that you do have a side of you that is emotional perspective, retrospective and appreciat mom and your family and all those men in your life who, who meant the world to you as a leader and someone you could look up to and could kind of guide you in your own life, which is great. Just like you do with your own kids and your grandkids. I can only imagine you putting your kids in line, your grandkids in line. Well, get over here. Come on over here. I put, I put every running back in the NFL in line.

I’ll get your little two year old self in line. Get over here. Your grand. Your grandma’s made dinner. Sit down. Eat it. Oh, yeah, I could totally see it. Anyway, Kim’s a jewel. Love you too, both. All right. But when I’m walking around with you like we walked around in San Francisco a few weeks ago, people would walk up to you not to say, hi, Mike, I love what a great husband you are to Kim. That’s not what they say. They actually walk up to you and go, I’m so appreciative of your game. Thank you for all the great memories on the field.

Let’s talk about from Baylor from the time you decided to take that scholarship and show up there, what were some of the highlights of your future career? You ended up being drafted. Talk about your draft moment. Was that exciting? How cool was that to be drafted by whoever the team was? Talk about that moment. That was a, a long day. I had talked to several teams leading up to the draft and there were about four teams that said that Mike, you know, we’re looking at you and then another guy for our first round pick. You might end up, we may end up waiting till the second for you because, you know, you’re not there.

You’re not the average side, you’re not the prototypical size of the Mike linebacker that we’re looking for. So we, we may draft you in a second. I said, I Won’t be there in the second round. I. I will not. If you don’t get me in the first round, you’re gonna miss a great opportunity. I’m just telling you. And then you got to play against me. That’s not good. Yep. So they all said, oh, well, you know, we’ll see what happens. Every one of them, all four teams call me on draft day. When it was their time coming up, they called me, hey, come get this call.

San Diego’s trying to get you. The Seattle Seahawks. Trying to talk to you. The Washington Redskins. And, you know, I’m thinking, here it is, you know, Chicago Bears. I’m thinking, oh, I’m going in the first round, and it’s either going to be you or it’s going to be the next guy. And it was always the other guy. And I was like, man, get out of here. I. At the end of the draft, at the end of the first round, I said, I don’t even want to play football. I don’t even want to play in the NFL.

How could they pass on me? How could they do that? That’s ridicul. It’s a setup. And I’m out there, I’m crying, praying at the same time, kicking tires, don’t know whose car it is. And finally the second round starts. I didn’t want to see it. And my wife runs to the door and says, mike, Mike. And I look around, I’m crying, chicago just dropped at you. And I said, oh, okay. I came in, talked to him, but I was excited. My. My mom and my wife were really excited. And he was. I said, hey, all right, I’ll show them.

I’ll show them they made a mistake. And you showed every one of those other three teams what you meant when you said, I’m gonna come after you. You’re gonna regret it. You have to play me every year. I put extra tape on every time I played against one of those teams. All right, here we go. Let’s go. I love it. All right, so the Chicago Bears get you. You go up to Chicago. Were you scared to leave Texas? Was that a big thing for you? You know what? I was. I was excited to have the opportunity to.

To. To see something else. Of course, I. I really wanted to. I really wanted to play for Dallas. Dallas was my team. That was my favorite team. I really wanted to go to the Cowboys. And I remember Gil Brandt was the head of. Recruited the head of the. Drafting, the lead scout there, and Gill, about two or three times, you know, Gil, I would see Gil somewhere. And he would say, mike, we’re thinking about you. We just think you’re. You’re not quite the size that we. I said, look, I’m telling you, Gil, you’re gonna make a mistake if you don’t get me.

You’re gonna make a mistake. And he said, well, we’ll. We’ll see. We’ll. We’ll keep looking. And sure enough, they went for the other guy. And throughout my career, when I saw Gil Brandt anywhere. So, Gil, I told you, didn’t I? He said, yeah, yeah, yeah, I know, I know, I know I told you gonna mess up. But it was like, it was a great opportunity to see him from then on. I bet it was. So was there anybody in particular at the Bears that you knew about that was either on the team, on the staff that you were excited to work with before you were drafted? Well, the only thing I thought about with the Bears before I was drafted was Dick Buckus.

That’s the only thing I really knew about the Bears. I had heard about a guy called Sweetness, Walter Payton. When I got there, when I drove, when I got drafted, they said, man, they got a running back. Boy, he is something special. Of course, that didn’t say anything to me because I didn’t like running backs. So I’m thinking, yeah, right. I’m gonna eat him. I’m eat him at every practice. What’s his name? Okay, But I tell you what, when I got there, this guy was truly everything that everybody said he was. He was absolutely amazing. He was the first guy that I really could not wait to get to the sideline to watch him run.

He was amazing. That’s awesome. Did you have to go up against him in practice? No, Coach Dicker never allowed that. Don’t hit Walter. Dance to dance through. And Mike, Mike. Oh, I almost dropped it on you. I said, you know what? Just let him. Just let him. Let us go one time. But it was. It was fun. We always had fun with that. Well, as a. As a young kid, I remember watching the Bears in 1985 when you guys won the Super Bowl. I was only nine years old, just so you know, so for perspective. I was very young.

However, the Bears were my favorite team because you guys had a bunch of characters. So you had. Jim McMahon was a character coming out of BYU. Sweetness. Walter Payton just. Oh, my gosh, that guy was super athletic. Graceful was the word. Man, he was sweet. To watch him run and dive over the line into the end zone all the time. And then you had Refrigerator Perry, who didn’t love that guy. I mean, oh, my God, you got Mike Ditko on the sideline. I mean, you guys were just a cast of Hollywood characters, man. It was really awesome.

So for me, it was very entertaining to watch you guys. And then it’s been an honor, obviously, to get to know you and spend time with you in the last few years, which is awesome. All right, so I’m still trying to figure out how to make man get into byu. Yeah, everybody. Everybody’s trying to figure out how you guys. Byu. But if you’ve watched his press conference when he was drafted, oh, it’s so funny. He’s, like, smoking a cigar, drinking a beer, and he’s so excited to get out of BYU’s. Like, I just couldn’t wait for my first beer.

They let me. They don’t let me drink here. Byu. So funny. Anyway, so anyway, great, great, great list of characters there. And all of you are a great team. Dominated in 1985, obviously. What year were you drafted, though? I was drafted in 81. 81. So four years later. Got it. Then you win the super bowl there. Good. Now in my own home, you told me, and I remember just how passionate you were about this moment, telling me how the highlight of your career was getting the call, I guess, that you are going into the hall of Fame.

Yes. What year was that when you got that call? That was 98. What was that moment like? Where were you? I was in my office. I was away from everybody and everything. And that was the day that we were to get the call, if we made it. So I’m sitting in my office and the phone rings, and I pick up the phone and they said, congratulations, you are our new inductee in the hall of Fame. And I tried to act very composed. I said, well, thank you. I was. I was hoping that I get this call.

Thank you very much. I hung the phone up. Yeah. Running around the office, and I was so excited and wiped a few tears away. Mom, we made it. You know, that kind of stuff. And. And then I sat down and I thought, who was the first teammate that I’m going to call? And think. There were a number of guys that crossed my mind. And I thought, nah, nah, nah. There was one name that came to my mind, and I went, no, no, I’m not calling him. No, it was Dan Hampton. Dan Hampton and I argued more than anybody else on the team.

He. I mean, every. It’s like every day we argued about something. Every play we argued about something. Single J. That’s your play. Why the running back get three yards? I said, look here, you better get through the quarterback. What the heck are you doing? You know, we back and forth all the time. Don’t you say one word to me. And we’re going back and forth. And I said, I can’t stand this guy every time I turn around. And he couldn’t stand me. We’re just on each other. And I thought, really, that’s who I’m going to call.

So I pick up the phone and I call Dan Hampton. And I said, dan, I said, you know what? Iron. Sharpened iron. And I said, you pushed me. And I always knew if I didn’t make the play, I’d have to answer to you. And I’m sure you knew. Likewise. I said, thank you. Thank you for pushing me and challenging me to be the best that I could be. Thank you for that. I’m sure that was an awesome moment for Dan. Yeah, no, it was. It was. It was pretty cool. Yeah. At least I didn’t argue with you about you picking him to be the first one to call.

At least didn’t argue with that one. You shouldn’t have called me. You should have called Mike. According a few days, one of the few times that we didn’t argue. We still argue to this day. That’s hilarious. Well, I’m surprised it wasn’t Quincy Nelson. You didn’t call him? Was he still alive in 1999? 1998? I don’t know. Quincy, you made me hate every day at practice. Oh, my God. We finally did it. I showed you. No. Just kidding. Anyway, that’s really, really, really incredible. All right, so this entire discussion, this has been a very organic conversation. Thank you for sharing with my audiences a little bit about you and your family and your achievements, which is exciting.

Mike, how old are you right now? I am 67. 67. Talk a little bit about being 67 and staying in shape. You still work out? You still find health principles important and a value to you? Absolutely. You know, I. When I was younger, I always thought about, you know, the sequence of what was really important to me. And it is. It was God, family, and then, you know, my country, my health, the older I get, it is God and health and the reason why it moves before my family. You know, I thought, I can’t put health before my family.

Family is always number two. No, it’s not. Because if. If I don’t take care of myself, I’m going to be a drain on my family. They’re going to be talking about, you know, they’re going to be taking turns talking about who’s going to take care of dad, who’s going to take him to the doctor tomorrow, who’s going to do this, who’s going to do that. You know what? I don’t want that. I want to make sure that everything that I can do to be the best, to be the best Mike Singletary that I can be every day, I’m going to do that.

I am going to do that. And, you know, when I’m 80, 90, 100, I want to be. You need something? You okay? You know, what can I help you with? That’s what I want to be. I want to be an asset all of my life to my family. And that is that to me, is my gift to my wife and. And my family. Well, there’s a lot of people in the audience that are your age and older talk about some of the things you make sure happen because health is such a value to you and, you know, the impact of positive health versus negative health and its impact on the family, marriage, life, you name it.

Health, truly, to me is one of the most important things on this earth that allows you to be great as a husband, a father, an employee, an employer, a grandma, grandpa, you name it. Doesn’t matter what it is. Brother, sister. So what are some of the things you just make sure you do actively each week? Each. Not if it’s not every day, maybe multiple times a week. What do you do to stay active, stay healthy? What do you see as principles? You don’t have to talk about specifics, just what do you do in general to make sure this is consistently a part of your value system to maintain health? Well, you know, it seems like it did.

The list increases, but for the most part, it’s been making sure that I am walking, doing some kind of treadmill, some kind of moving. And so that’s to keep the heart moving, walking at a decent pace every day, stretching, being able to make sure that I’m doing the proper exercise for different body parts, trying to get to the chiropractor a couple of times a week if I can, or at least one love it, and making sure that I eat the right thing. It’s kind of like the older I get, the more I’m looking at myself as like a car making sure that I don’t put diesel in.

In my. My gas tank and. And I’m supposed to put something else unleaded. I love that analogy. Yeah. Making sure that I put the right thing in my tank every day and I’M burning it. I’m burning good stuff and using it as energy. So that I can tell you Mike Singletary is not built by donuts. I’ll tell you that he is not constructed of donuts. Guarantee it. Yep. No, not, not built by donut. But, but those are some of the things. But recently, recently I really began to think about my thoughts and really understanding that I can do all of those other things.

I can eat right, I can work out, but my thoughts are wrong. I don’t like somebody. I’m angry about something, I’m thinking about something and it’s bothering me. And so calling Dan Hampton. Yeah, here it is. I don’t realize. I don’t realize that I’m my own drugstore. I can choose what I’m pulling off the shelf in my mind. I can pull off serotonin, I can pull off oxytocin, I can pull off adrenaline. I can pull off cortisol. I can pull off whatever I want and secrete that as many times in the day as I can. So I’m thinking, wait a minute, what the heck am I doing? I got to make sure that I’m pulling the right thing off my shelf.

And no one knows what I’m thinking. So I can cheat a lot, I can smile, but inside I’m thinking something else. So for me, it’s very important that I’m honest with myself in my thought life, making sure that my thoughts stay above ground. And I always choose to take the high road. And I don’t have to win every argument. I don’t even have to start the argument. I don’t have to think wrong of somebody else is trying to get the better of me or whatever. No, you know what? Let it go. It’s not worth it. Let it go.

It somehow, some way, it’s going to work out somewhere down the line. And so for me, this, this last part is really, really taking control of my thought life and being very intentional about what I’m thinking about and not allow those things to, to rob me. And I don’t even realize it. Yeah. And this isn’t like a last second thought for Mike. Mike’s actually been given by me when I knew this was something importance to him. I actually gave him a book that I’ve recommended to our audiences here for years. So there’s a book by Truman.

Sorry, Carol Truman, K A R O L Truman. It’s called Feelings Buried Alive Never Die. There’s an incredible book by Bruce Lipton called Biology of Belief and it talks about the Health principles of the human being and how they are guided literally by your thoughts. You can either create disease or you can create healing based on your thought processes. Then there’s what’s called the emotion code by Dr. Bradley Nelson that I introduced him to. And then there’s a great book called the Four Agreements. If you want a short little Cliff Notes version of a book you should read that has the impact of your thoughts, period, and impact on your health.

I don’t know about you, but I think most of us in this world looking at Mike Singletary be like, well, we want a dream life like his. Maybe you don’t want 16 Grandkill grandchildren, plus a few you don’t know are coming already and not supposed to know. But maybe that’s not the part you want. But you’re like, oh, I look at this guy, he’s got the success, he’s got the family, he’s got the wife. I mean, it seems like everything’s worked out for him. He’s achieved those things he wanted to in life. If you want to know how he did it, you need to have some of the perspectives out of these books I just named.

I’ve continued to reiterate this, and I don’t know if you know this, Mike. I know your wife follows the show maybe closer than you are. You’re busy, you’ve got all your engagements and 16 kids. You run around with grandkids. But I did. In December of 2025, just a few months ago, I did an entire show titled the Law of Gratitude. And I walk everybody through medical research studies on how positive thinking reduces the amount of inflammation a person experiences. Autoimmune disease, heart disease, dementia, Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, cancer, diagnosis. I walk all the audiences through. This is well documented, well studied, that the mindset of an individual to be either more positive or negative thinking directly has a respective positive or negative impact on their health.

So these are big, big deals. And Mike as a master leader, not only a leader of other people and his teammates, but he literally, inquisitively tries to find out how to lead a better personal life experience for Mike Singletary. Like, how can I be greater? And that’s what’s awesome about you. A lot of introspective. I’m going to go take action, and I don’t know, this will encompass a little bit of it. You’ve told me you’ve written a book. Is that book available to people? Is it available? Absolutely. All right, tell them what the title of your book is.

Mike Singletary, he Just wrote this, I think. Just published it last year, right? 20, 25. Hold up. The book we’re gonna sell. We’re gonna sell a crap out of this book right now. All right, There we go. Visualize your greatness, Mike Singletary. Now, you told me. Now that might be a different book. You told me. There’s one called the Seven Seas, right? Yes. Well, this is. Is that the one? This is it. The seven C’s are in here. I just pictured the title differently. Okay, good. You look good on that cover, man. Did you lie. Your greatness.

And then the seven Cs. The seven steps are in here. Great. I want you to highlight right now for everybody watching. Everybody watching. I know that most of your women, your husbands, your boyfriends, want Mike Singletary’s book. Tell the women in my audiences around the world, what are the seven C’s you write about? You just made me nervous. Go through the seven Cs, Mike. The first C is being having the courage, and that is to. To have the courage to decide that this is what I want in my life, this is what I’m gonna do, and this is how I’m going to go about doing it.

So, you know, too oftentimes we don’t think about that. The next one is being conscious, you know, having conscious thoughts about what I’m thinking, what I’m doing, who I’m listening to or what I’m listening to. The next one is consistent. That’s the part where the consistent is that being able to choose great habits, to develop great habits so that we get the thoughts that we want and we create those. The next one, if we do the first three things, the next thing comes very natural, and that’s confident. I’m very confident about who I am. I’m very confident about my intentions.

I’m very confident because of the consistency and the consciousness, all those things. And after conscious being confident, then it comes down to having character. You know, we can’t. We can’t go. I don’t care how much talent we have. I don’t care how brilliant we are. We’re only going to go as far as the character that we have inside of us. And so developing that character is so important. And it leads me to the next thing competing. You know, you talk about the 85 bears. I mean, that was 40 years ago and over 40 years ago, and it’s amazing.

You know, I could spend my life talking about the 85 bears, but I didn’t. I didn’t even come back to the city of Chicago. After we won the super bowl, because I. I believe we should have gone again. I was preparing in my mindset to go that following year. But too oftentimes, we. We get stuck in time, in a time warp in our lives, and we don’t continue to compete. We don’t continue to try and get better than we were last year. And the greatest competition I’ll ever have is me. So compete. And the last one is being totally committed to the process.

It’s that process, that. Being committed to the process of doing those things, doing the big things that we want to do and doing the little things that allows us to accomplish the big things that we do. And those are the seven C’s. All right. We’re going to make Mike Singletary number one bestseller on Amazon today. Go get the book. Visualize your greatness. Why? Because women watching you want a great man. So you might as well get them a book that gives them the seven C’s. Now, that’s just to show the world how great you are. You have visualized this stuff your entire life.

You told your coach, he told whoever was at Baylor. Am I going to start here? No. Well, I need to start here or I may not come here. Yeah, right. You told all the. This is the confidence part, right? You told all those teams, hey, you need to pick me in the first draft. If you don’t, I’m coming after you each year. Right. That’s how confident you were. Right. So confidence we are not lacking. This is great. All right. So please get the book. If you have sons at home, teenage sons, nephews, nieces, grandsons. Yeah. They need this book.

They should have someone like Mike Singletary to construct for them a guide of how to be a man, how to be a leader in this world. And I think you’ll get that from that book. Go get it. So please, go get it. Give it away as a gift. Give it. Go buy several copies and give it to every man you know, because they can grow from learning from Mike Singletary. He’s a man of men, a man of honor. That’s exactly how I see him now. I was really listening for the seven Cs. You’ve already given me the list.

I knew it wasn’t there, but I was hoping you would not say one of those C’s stood for concussions. I don’t think concussions make people better. That’s not one of those C’s. All right. But that’s why we’re here today to talk about. So let’s talk a little bit of an intro here to the topic at hand, which is traumatic brain injuries and concussions. I’ve actually asked you about being in the hall of Fame, which I think for most men in this world, you think that’s the echelon of achievement. And as you have told me, looking around, we’re not gonna name any names, but looking around the hall of these legends of people who have actually gone through the similar career you did, it has saddened you to look at the aspects of their lives, health wise, and how limited they are.

A lot of them, this is not all due to concussions. It’s just wear and tear obviously, too, and breaks and strains, and you know it. There’s a lot of trauma that goes into the field of the game you played, but their health has taken a beating. Also, one of those things that we’re highlighting today are just the impacts of traumatic brain injuries. And I mentioned earlier on the outset in the intro of this 3.8 million people, the CDC says, experience concussions every year in America, but the majority of them are the elderly and the majority of them are children who just simply fall.

The second highest would be sports injuries. Now, chronic traumatic encephalopathy that you’re hearing about in the NFL, which is the result of multiple concussions, has brought this to the forefront. But I would like to just highlight here as I wrap up my interview with you, buddy, to the intro to this. And just so y’ all know, me and Mike are going to be in your face a lot over the next many years. I expect it’s going to be a lot of fun because I’m learning from him how to be a leader for all of you. So you’re just going to have to have my coach around me all the time.

Get used to it. You’re going to learn all kinds of stuff here. It’s going to be exciting. But concussions themselves, just so you all know, concussions are linked to, no matter how young or old you might be or whatever reason you got one, a concussion, truly is this. Your brain hits the skull because you got hit so hard, you hit the ground, stood up in your kitchen, hitting your cabinet, that it can create a concussion. Also, anything that is a sudden stop of the head movement and your brain hits the skull, it bruises. A concussion is a bruise of your physical brain.

You will have some very acute sudden symptoms of a concussion or traumatic brain injury. And you’ll see this usually on the sideline. What’s your birth date? What’s your name? What’s your address? Where do you live who you married to. Your wife’s name’s Kim. Mike. Say Mike. Say, say Kim. Mike. Mike. Say Kim. That’s what Dan Hampton would have been saying. Say Kim. Mike. It is Kim. All right. So sudden loss of memory, or this early onset like loss of memory, amnesia, you know, that’s a very common thing. Eyes that won’t dilate or change with light. You’ll see neurologists putting a light in front of your eyes.

See if they’re dilating and constricting and dilating, constricting as they’re supposed to, reactive to light. And that will be delayed in somebody with a concussion. So these are some of those things. But what shocked me in preparation for this interview and the presentation we’re about to walk people through was the fact that Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s and suicide, anxiety disorders, panic attack disorders are very common, long term, chronic issues with one or multiple concussions. Now, what I have learned over my long clinical career was helping people with traumatic brain injuries, whether it was strokes, whether it was blood clots, whether it was a concussion, a motor vehicle accident that caused it didn’t matter.

They all had very similar symptoms. And I found there were very specific mineral and vitamin and amino acids, specifically deficiencies that if they did not have those at adequate levels, it was just a much slower process of recovery from the contusion or the bruise. Contusion is another word for bruise of the brain. So before I dive in all the medical nerdy stuff, I would like to hear from you, Mike. What did you see in the NFL while playing at Baylor in college and since being an adult and working directly with the NFL, being still involved? Very much so in the NFL, how big of an issue is traumatic brain injuries, including concussions and these CTE moments? So how big of a problem is this? And from your perspective as an athlete, a retired athlete, knowing individuals who you either concussed with your own helmet because they were lined up opposite of you on the, on the Bears soldier field? What have you seen? What are you aware of that concern you about wanting to be a leader, to educate people in this one particular topic? You know, there, there are a couple of things.

You know, first and foremost, it’s, you’re right, it’s, it’s a long term thing. And, and the, the, the number of concussions that you may have or what have you certainly plays into the amount of time, the length of time that it takes before it begins to take an effect on you. But there are many former teammates or guys that I competed against or what have you, you know, 10 years later, 15 years later, you know, there are a lot of things, obviously, that. That they’ve forgotten or they’re not themselves. It’s, it’s. It’s definitely. It can be an issue.

And I. I’ve seen guys that. That I love and have come to love because we knew each other, and we’re talking to each other one year, and the next year they’re looking at the wall and it’s like, wait a minute. Come on now. You got to be kidding me. I was just talking. We were just having a great time last year. Or you’ll see the wise behind them saying it’s okay, you know? You know, okay, okay. They’re asking you the same question 10 times. And so it. It can be very sad. It doesn’t have to be that way if we are aware of it and we understand the repercussions.

A lot of guys are living a lifestyle that they’re burning the candle at both ends. They’re not taking care of themselves. They’re still doing some of the things, some of the habits that they had. You know, they’re drinking, they’re this, the party and the staying up late. Guys don’t understand the importance of sleep. You know, all of those little things. You know, when you think about the game of football, it is a violent game, and when you get out of the game, that’s when. That’s when you really have to think about, okay, when I look back at what I did when I played, hitting the ground, hitting somebody else, being hit, being blindsided, and your head’s always on the move because you didn’t see this blow.

You didn’t see that one. And that’s when you talk about the concussion. You don’t even know you’re being concussed. You didn’t see this blow coming, and it hit you. It’s okay then. But next year, five years from now, they come into play and they take their toll. And if you’re not doing anything to be proactive about taking care of yourself, thinking about those things, what do I need to be doing? Do I see it? They see it firsthand, and they’re the ones that. That have to deal with it most of the time. So hopefully we just continue to educate our guys and, and have guys understand and wives.

This is what needs to be happening. This is what. How we take care of ourselves. This is how we continue to combat against CTE and some of the trauma and things like that. Yeah. So as I dive into this presentation, Mike It’ll be fun for you to just hear right here. But there’s an amino acid, for example, called L, Taurine, T, A, U, R, I, N, E. And everybody in the United States is basically deficient in taurine. Now there’s a reason for this. Actually. It was explicitly done. Taurine is what the nervous system, the brain needs as an amino acid to function and fire normally.

So you get normal movements, psychosomatic movements, the brain controlling the body so your body can’t move correctly, can’t think or process things correctly. So when you look at the world of like autism, this is also well known that there is low taurine typically in these individuals. Did you know that the number one used herbicide, pesticide, insecticide in America on all of our food supply is called glyphosate, made by a company called Monsanto, owned by the Bayer Corporation, who literally just settled a $7.6 billion lawsuit that their Monsanto herbicide insecticide called Glyphosate and Roundup, Roundup weed killer.

That’s what it is. They just settled a $7.6 billion lawsuit that Monsanto, their product causes cancer and all the people that eat the foods that they spray this on. Well, glyphosate, if you read the book by Stephanie Seneff, who’s an MIT professor, tenured professor, who’s been on this show multiple times, she wrote a book called Toxic Legacy about the impact of glyphosate being used, the combination of vaccines and the detrimental effects of taurine levels impacting as those go down in the human body and in the mom of a pregnant woman, leading to increased diagnosis of things like autism, which is a neurological degenerative process.

So this goes in line with all the other neurodegenerative processes I just mentioned with concussions like Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, Mississippi, These are all touted as long term side effects of concussions. But one of the things I learned from Stephanie Sinov years ago was the importance of people supplementing taurine. And taurine is the only singular amino acid I even promote to people. But I’m going to educate and show documentation and medical research studies about how taurine helps to offset symptoms of acute injuries to traumatic brain injuries, and why it is you should be supplementing it. If there’s ever a concussion or you’re in activities or you are a senior citizen and you have fallen quite often in your degenerative older state, you just should be supplementing taurine.

It’ll speed up your recovery from any neurological damage. So taurine is very, very, very commonly touted. And I will be educating you all on why this is so significant. And the doses they find that quickly help to repair the damaged bruised areas of the brain from a traumatic brain injury. That’ll be one thing you’ll learn everybody at home. And then also there’s a B vitamin called inositol. I, N, O, S I, T, O, L. And I’ll just give some highlights here. This is really fun. So I had a baby niece that was born to my sister out in Fort Worth a couple years ago, actually, about man.

It’s been 14 years now. Holy cow. All right, so that kid’s born, and the baby won’t suckle. It cannot suckle onto a nipple. It cannot bind to a bottle nipple, so it can’t feed. So on the second day, they’re worried about this diagnosis, Mike. They call it failure to thrive. So what they’re considering and telling my sister in the hospital is, I think we’re gonna put a G tube into your two day old because it won’t eat, so we can’t have it die on us. So we’re gonna have to put in a tube through the gut into the stomach and start pumping nutrition into it.

So my sister calls me and goes, brian, what. What would you do if it was your 2 day old? And I said, oh, I wouldn’t be doing the G tube. I would actually tell her husband at the time. I said, go tell your husband to go home. And in the pantry, I know you have it. Go get a bottle of Inositol, crush up the little tablets, Stick your finger, Christy, stick your finger in there and then put it in your baby’s mouth. It’s a two day old. I know, but it will eat the Inositol off your tongue.

In fact, Inositol is a B vitamin. Tastes like sugar. So I can. I can put anybody on Inositol, and they think it’s a sugar pill, and it’s not. But every kid thinks it’s candy. All right, so you just stick the finger in the powdered nostalgic put in this baby’s mouth. Not a Joke, Mike. Within 24 hours, the baby starts suckling. Now, they were worried about a neurological problem, so this is why they were like, maybe the baby’s just not. Maybe it’s delayed. Maybe it hasn’t developed fully. And I was like, oh, no, no, no, no. The baby needs Inositol.

Just give the baby Inositol. Just keep crushing up a tablet, stick it on its tongue. Since it can’t suckle and it’ll just absorb the inositol anyway, we avoided an entire surgery and a G tube and the baby started suckling nipple bottle just with inositol. This is the impact of inositol now for everybody home. It’s one of the ingredients in my new hydrate complete for this very reason. It’s also in our multivitamin gummies. It’s very important. It’s also in our kids multivitamin. Why you all need inositol. It’s a B vitamin. Everybody should be on it. Then we’re going to educate you on cd what’s called choline acetylcholine.

I bet you Mike already knows this because he’s an astute studier off there in the corner in the library when his wife found him. Remember, originally, he’s always in the corner studying. This guy is an astute student. This guy is a lifetime student for real. You should see the stuff he lays out on my table here in my house. The whole huge dining room table is full of stuff he’s been researching. It’s awesome. I love it. He’s a. He’s another. He’s a little bit older me. That’s what he is. It’s really awesome. With a little less hair than me.

That’s it. That’s the only difference. That’s it. We both got brown eyes. We’re the same. We’re identical. All right, so with choline, just so you know, every brain cell in the body, whether it’s concussed or healthy, it doesn’t matter. There’s only one chemical that transfers information for your memory. Vision, taste, smell recall, being able to tell your muscles to move if you’ve pooped. You had to wipe your hand. Your brain has to tell your hand to wipe. And so you got all these muscles that have to do it. Only one chemical is being sent from your brain to the next nerve to tell everything what to do.

And that’s called acetylcholine. So there you can supplement choline. That’s also in our hydrate complete. It’s also in our multivitamin for kids and adults. You name this is so essential a part of what you do for traumatic brain injuries. I’m going to walk you through all the research, what the doses are, why it is so specific, why it is so helpful. You’re going to see these are just some of the highlights we’re going to give people as I walk them through this. And then obviously the brain is 60 to 70% fat. Mike, did you know you can take a brain out of a person? I’ve done this in gross anatomy.

By the way, take the brain out of a body, and it will float on water. Wow. Yeah. Because it’s fat. It’s primarily fat. And fat floats on water. Right. So it’ll separate from water. So your brain needs healthy fats. So what are some healthy fats? If you got a concussed brain, don’t you think? Avocado oil, olive oil, coconut oil. These are all healthy forms of fats. Nuts, seeds have lots of fats in them. So we’ll get into a little bit about fats, why those are essential, especially when you’re trying to recover from a brain injury. All right, so this is my introduction to the incredible leader of men who has created probably more concussions on an NFL field, NCAA field than anybody else.

I know everybody knows the intensity of this man’s eyes as he studied the offenses of everybody he was about to play. But I’m really excited, Mike, to have you join me today for the audiences to get to know you, to talk about what you created as a book, you as a leader, introduce the world to your family. Because there’s a whole bunch of man, there’s a bunch of singletaries running around this world that if Kim didn’t show up late to a class just like you. There’s a reason why Mike’s never late ever again. Him and Kim are always on time 10 minutes early.

But however, because they were late once, something really great and miraculous happened. So stay tuned. We’re going to show you a presentation Here.
